| description | Japan’s construction industry faces a severe problem of an aging workforce and shortage. Construction companies seek to diversify their revenue base and promote intrapreneurship, but results have been limited. This thesis aims to analyze factors that lead to the current situation and the architecture that promotes intrapreneurship, using the ARIES framework to analyze and propose an architecture that a future enterprise should adopt and an implementation plan.
A literature review is conducted to study the factors necessary to promote intrapreneurship and to determine the thesis direction. The factors that hinder intrapreneurship are clarified through landscape analysis, stakeholder analysis, ten view elements model, SWOT analysis, and X-matrix analysis of the target enterprise, and the actual state of the enterprise’s current architecture is determined.
From the results, five directions of envisioned future are extracted. Then, tradespace models are created and evaluated by multi-attribute utility and implementability. The generated architectures are narrowed down to four by three down-selections, and the most robust architecture is comprehensively selected through scenario-based testing, quantitative SWOT analysis, and risk analysis.
The final architecture offers the top and middle managers a leadership program for innovation, a rewarding design, an agile development lifecycle, PMO, separate unit, project-oriented, and a platform for accumulating intrapreneurial know-how and facilitation of stakeholder communication. The X-matrix analysis is again conducted and reveals that this architecture fulfills the business strategy and stakeholder values to a great extent. Then, elements of the implementation plan for the new architecture are identified from the element anatomy, and an implementation plan is created. The results of this thesis can be used to design an architecture for intrapreneurship promotion, which could be adapted to construction and adjacent markets. |
